I saw on one of your posts that you ride 30 miles on full throttle on your scross. From your experience,what is the max it can cope with on undulating terrain only on throttle?

Bikes like that are not really meant to be ridden without pedalling. Using just a throttle, range would depend on your weight and the amount of hills you climb. On any medium hill, the motor wouldn't have enough power to run at normal speed, so it would run extremely inefficiently and waste a lot of battery. Also, everything will run very hot, so you run the risk of damage to the motor, motor controller and battery.

Thanks for the reply. After being for several decent rides now,I understand that pedalling is essential,just makes you feel 10 years younger. Not actually used throttle. Very much enjoying it!

Thank you for the understanding message and apologies but it was taken out of my hands. I wish you well in your search for a suitable bike. Cheers Steve W...

Now I know why our conversation about your Wisper petered out........ very sorry to hear about your heart attack. Take it easy and don’t rush your recovery, be patient. A year ago I was very low with cancer but now am back to full health and enjoying life.
All the best

... odd occasions, but before I buy it I just want to check if the 500w rear hub can be used on the same controller as the 250w front hub and what is the approximate weight difference between the two hubs.

Hello Aardvark5. Hopefully you can help me with some advice from your experience with the Cyclotricity kits. I have recently purchased the Cyclotricity 250w front kit and I am very happy with it for my every day commuting on public roads, but on the very steep off-road uphills with a gradient of above 13%, it can be quite a struggle. So I am thinking of getting the 500w rear kit and swapping the wheels on those ...

I have a 2016 Haibike sduro Cross SL. I love riding it, but even with a grade, it is geared so low that I can't pedal any faster than about 29 mph. I would like to put a 2 x 10 front derailleur and second chain ring on it. Do you know where I can find what parts I need? I also have a 2017 Xduro 6.5 that is 2 x 10 already. Would my SL use the same derailleur and chainring? Would I need to change the hub?

Hey Wheel-E, I saw your posts about the Stealth 500W, really helpful so thanks for sharing man! Just wondering what do you make of the Stealth for urban riding and as an all rounder? Thinking about getting one for my commute, the 19ah one. Also a little unsure about the range.

Hi, I need to be at the airport for 3:20pm, so anything between 2:00 and 3:00pm works for me, if it is not far away from Gatwick
